This $698,328 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports the development and pilot testing of a novel "just-in-time training" (JITT) implementation strategy to equip youth mentors in rural communities to deliver an evidence-based preventive intervention for adolescent depression.

The key products and services being developed and evaluated include: (1) self-directed online training modules for mentors and supervisors, (2) evidence-based supervision strategies, and (3) an apprenticeship model where experienced and novice mentors co-deliver the intervention.

The goal is to establish a sustainable, scalable model for delivering evidence-based mental health programming to youth in underserved rural areas.
